Ingredients

1 lb. ground lamb

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tbsp. ground cumin

⅓ c. crumbled feta

¼ c. finely diced yellow onion

7 finely chopped dried apricots

3 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 egg, beaten

3 tbsp. chopped mint

⅓ c. bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Add all ingredients except the mint into a mixing bowl and mash together to create an even mixture of ingredients.

Add the mint and gently fold it into the lamb mixture.

Form the lamb mixture into two inch wide meatballs and place them in a baking dish.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. The meatballs should be browned evenly when finished cooking. If you're not sure that they're cooked, you can always slice into one to see if there is any pinkness in the middle.

Serve with couscous and a tomato, feta, and cucumber salad for a delicious meal! Enjoy!
